Khushwant Singh's write-up "Let us no longer bicker over temples and mosques" ( with malice towards one and all, October 17 ). The write-up was curiously a contradiction of the heading. Khushwant Singh was bickering over the authenticity of Shri Ram's birthplace Ayodhya. I was really wondering would he dare to doubt similarly about the birthplace of Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammad ? He even pooh-poohed the veracity of archeological evidence produced in the court. He seems to be biased against the Ayodhya verdict, rather than his bias on the side of "the" Muslims as claimed by him.It was damnably unfair that he should question about the religious beliefs of millions of Hindus regarding the birthplace of Shri Ram. Khushwant Singh's questioning : " Was Shri Ram really born in Ayodhya ?", can be construed as blasphemy. Surprisingly, he still strongly believes that Ayodhya verdict is the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of Indians. I would like to remind Mr Khushwant Singh that Ayodhya verdict has already been announced by the Allahabad Court but the Sword has so far not fallen on anybody's head. Yes, I agree fully with him, "Let us no longer bicker over temples and mosques" !! Sir !
